This is a talented Seahawks team in a tough environment. Here's why we should win:

We've won our last two away games, against playoff caliber opponents who were either fighting to get in or fighting for position.

We've won in bad weather (rain due in Seattle, but could it be worse than NY?)

The Seahawks are amazingly one dimensional on offense - Greg(g) Williams must be salivating.

Seattle is a throw-first team, and it will be run-first weather.

This team has gotten better results each week since the re-birth against Chicago. While past performance is no guarantee of future results (if that was the case, I'd be a millionaire and not some dumbass with a garage full of Star Trek commemorative plates), I think we have reason to be positive.

Redskins 24
Seattle 10

I feel good about this game. I think Clinton Portis can have a good day against the Seahawk defense. If the Redskins can run the ball effectively, they can keep Hasselbeck off the field and limit his opportunities. It's also important for the Redskins to score early to take the crowd out of the game. I think the Skins can get it done.

The key play of the game will be when Suisham nails a 55-yard field goal as time expires in the 1st half to give us a 10-0 lead. We open the second half with one of those 7 minute drives that culminate in a Reche Caldwell TD catch from...Clinton Portis. Seattle closes the gap with a TD and 2-point conversion late in the fourth, but their ensuing onsides kick attempt backfires as Anthony Mix scoops it up and takes it down to the 10 yard line. With no timeouts left the Seahawks are forced to watch as Collins takes a knee.

Final Score: 17-8 Redskins.

Hawks will go into this game with a different game plan. TO RUN THE BALL! While we are ranked 4th against the rush this will prove to be difficult. But I have a feeling Holmgrem will view the run as a key to winning. As will we. Even though we are ranked 16th against the pass....are corner boys have been playing lights out lately.
